On Boxing Day we went to Helena's for lunch.  Onni had fever and they stayed at home all Christmas.  Hanna-Lea and the family came there too.  Children opened more presents.  Minttu dog is expecting and we watched Hanna-Lea's video on dog giving birth, learning purpose for the coming 'parents'.  The day will be around 15th of January.  Walking the 3 dogs (Jesse, Minttu and Tellu) around Kuusa, coffee and then we left home just after 5 o'clock.

On Wednesday I stayed at home, working in the morning.  Paul, Mika and Niina came for a visit around noon on their way to England (flight on Thursday morning).  Last time we saw Paul 2,5 yrs ago.  It was really nice to meet!  Niina, our goddaughter,  is a beautiful and social 5 year old girl.  Very fond of Jesse as was Mika.  I suppose Jesse is missing the kids today, nobody has had that much energy to play with the dog as Niina and Mika!  After lunch we went to Sea Life in Linnanmäki.  Heini was shopping downtown with her friend and we picked her up from Opera on the way home.  Christmas money spent.

Dinner and socialising the night.  Refreshing memories of England, watching pictures and map of East Anglia.  Would be nice to visit the places again and see all the friends...
